NEC (National Electrical Code)

The National Electrical Code (NEC) is a set of safety standards and technical guidelines for installing and maintaining electrical systems. It aims to ensure that electrical work is safe, reliable, and reduces the risk of fire or injury. The NEC covers everything from wiring and outlets to equipment and safety devices, providing a common framework for electricians, builders, and inspectors. Updated regularly, it promotes consistent practices across the industry and helps protect people and property by minimizing electrical hazards in homes, buildings, and infrastructure.
